Central Region, Hidden Dragon Fortress, in the arena!
"That's right!"
Zhou Mengling said arrogantly as she nodded to confirm Yu Haoran's question.
"Among the younger generation in the Tianxuan Continent, there is no one who can make me, Zhou Lingmeng, admit defeat. This includes you, Yu Haoran, who has advanced to become an Alchemy Emperor and an Array Emperor.
"Very well!" Yu Haoran gritted his teeth in response to Zhou Mengling's arrogant reply.
During the courtyard challenge, Zhou Mengling would rather expose one of her trump cards and capture Yu Siqi alive because she did not want to offend him and force him to refuse to refine pills for the Zhou family.
Now, when most of the contestants had chosen to admit defeat, she had chosen to fight him head-on. This meant that she was no longer afraid of his abilities as a Pill Emperor and was planning to shed all pretense of cordiality.
Although he could not kill Zhou Mengling directly to allow An Yufei to successfully take back everything she had lost, he could choose to severely injure her during the fight and collect some interest for An Yufei in advance.
"Yu Haoran, there's a change in the plan. I'm afraid you'll need to set up the Combat Star Stepping Formation in advance!"
Just as Yu Haoran began to activate the physical strength of the Ancestral Witch and planned to teach Zhou Mengling a lesson with the fist and palm techniques that he had inherited from the Ancestral Witch, Thaling suddenly suggested with a solemn expression.
"Thaling, aren't you lacking the materials to refine the Combat Star Stepping Formation flag?"
Yu Haoran immediately thought of Thaling's suggestion at the entrance of Anyang Village. When he had asked Thaling to set up the Combat Star Stepping Formation to help An Yufei, he had given him a reason to refuse.
"That's right!"
Thaling explained as he took the Nimble Chessboard from Víctor's second clone while nodding in confirmation.
"However, with the Nimble Chessboard that can set up most killing formations in the world, it's enough to replace the materials needed to refine the formation flag and successfully set up a more powerful Combat Star Stepping Formation."
"Thaling, why are you in such a hurry to set up the formation?"
Although he had the Linglong Chessboard, which could replace the material used to refine the Formation Flag, he was still doubtful when he thought about how Thaling was worried that he would not be able to withstand the anger of the Zhou Clan and had asked him to use the Hidden Dragon Luck to support himself. Only after his cultivation had advanced to the peak of Ninth Grade Martial Venerable could he make a move, he was still doubtful.
"Because only by setting up the Dou Dipper Step Formation in advance can you preserve your life from Zhou Lingmeng's attacks and obtain the final victory." Looking at the sword in the scabbard in Zhou Mengling's hand, Thaling explained with a serious expression.
"Why?" Yu Haoran asked, even more puzzled.
Although Zhou Mengling was ranked second in the Central Region, her true strength was not necessarily stronger than Feng Tingting's.
Since the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms of the Ancestral Witch could defeat Feng Tingting, it could also defeat Zhou Mengling. Therefore, Yu Haoran did not understand why he needed the help of the Budou Cover Formation.
"Because of the sword in her hand!" The Tower Spirit reminded him with a hint of sadness in its voice.
"The sword!"
After hearing Thaling's reminder, Yu Haoran looked at the sword in Zhou Mengling's hand. He did not find the sword in the scabbard to be powerful.
Seeing that Yu Haoran had noticed the sword in the scabbard in her hand, Zhou Mengling's face immediately showed a trace of a proud smile.
Then, she raised the sword in her hand and said, just like Yu Haoran had given the other contestants the same choice.
"Either you admit defeat or you die!"
With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Yu Haoran forcibly suppressed the strong murderous intent in his heart and carefully listened to Thaling's explanation of the origin of the sword in the scabbard in Zhou Mengling's hand.
"Yu Haoran, do you still remember when we went to the Merlin Mountain Range? I mentioned Gui Guzi's seven disciples!"
Seeing that Zhou Mengling wanted to destroy Yu Haoran's confidence before she was willing to use the power of the sword, Thaling began to introduce the origin of the sword in her hand.
"Of course I remember!"
It had not been long, so how could Yu Haoran forget Gui Guzi, who no one could see through?
"Gui Guzi's third disciple, Immortal Tongtian, whose refining skills were second only to Yun Zhongzi, was actually a Supreme Master who entered the Dao through killing."
"And his natal sword, the Four Immortal-slaying Swords, was not only a killing weapon used by him to prove his Dao, but also a Supreme Artifact that accompanied him to the Supreme Master Realm."
"Thaling, do you mean that the sword in Zhou Mengling's hand with the scabbard is actually the Immortal-Slaying Supreme Artifact?"
Thaling deliberately mentioned Immortal Tongtian and his natal Supreme Artifact, so that Yu Haoran could immediately guess the origin of the sword in Zhou Mengling's hand.
"Yes, and no!"
Thaling nodded and then shook his head. There was a trace of recollection in his eyes as he said.
"Immortal Tongtian's natal sword is composed of the Immortal-ending Sword, the Immortal-trapping Sword, the Immortal-killing Sword, and the Immortal-slaying Sword. Only when the four swords are gathered together can it be called a Supreme Artifact, and only when the four swords are gathered together can it kill a Supreme Master of the same Realm."
"Yu Haoran, there were three Supreme Masters in the Buddhism Sect in the Middle Ages, and two of them were killed by Immortal Tongtian using the Four Immortal-slaying Swords."
"Thaling, which of the four swords is the sword in Zhou Mengling's hand? What kind of heaven-defying power can it exert?"
The Four Immortal-slaying Swords gathered together to kill a Supreme Master!
After hearing Thaling's detailed introduction of Immortal Tongtian's natal sword, Yu Haoran's heart was as shocked as a stormy sea, and he wanted to know the origin of the sword in Zhou Mengling's hand.
"The Immortal-ending Sword is the weakest of the four swords. If its full power is unleashed, it can easily kill a God Realm expert at the peak of the Seventh Grade Martial God Realm."
After retracting his gaze from the sword in Zhou Mengling's hand, Thaling finished explaining the origin and power of the Immortal-ending Sword. He looked straight into Yu Haoran's eyes and said with a slightly apologetic tone.
"Yu Haoran, the reason why I used the Linglong Chessboard to set up the Fighting and Stepping Formation in advance, other than helping you win the competition and helping you make up for the regrets of your previous life, is also to use the competition rules of the Hidden Dragon Rankings to take back the Immortal-ending Sword that belonged to Daoist Tongtian."
"Thaling, what do you need me to do next?"
Whether it was to save his own life or to satisfy Thaling's wish, Yu Haoran did not hesitate in the slightest.
Yu Haoran's decisive attitude made Thaling feel deeply gratified, and at the same time, he quickly told him his plan to take back the Immortal-ending Sword.
"Yu Haoran, first, I will use a special secret method to merge the Víctor into your body, so that you can withstand the Immortal-ending Sword's attack."
"Secondly, you will use the palm technique passed down by the Ancestor of Sorcery and use close combat to disturb Zhou Mengling's attention, then move according to my instructions. This way, I will be able to set up the Fighting and Stepping Formation."
